 West Sacramento (that's the corner of 4th & F in West Sac - parking lot is 
 right off of F Street between 4th & 5th).\n\nMock up on Mu\n\nNotorious Bay 
 Area kino-renegade Craig Baldwin tops his earlier found-footage operas 
 Spectres of the Spectrum and Sonic Outlaws with this much-anticipated work, 
 a rapid-fire pulp serial–cum–political tract piss take on 
 California’s major military, entertainment and religious industries. 
 Hitting upon everything from Satanism to Scientology, the Beats to the jets 
 (propulsion, that is), Baldwin revs up his characteristic stock footage 
 reappropriations with some live-action scenes, adding an over-the-top pulp 
 flair to the proceedings. The film focuses on three seemingly disparate 
 characters to fuel this secret history of California: Jack Parsons, 
 inventor of solid rocket fuel, founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and 
 Aleister Crowley acolyte; Marjorie Cameron, artist, beatnik and occultist; 
 and L. Ron Hubbard, the science fiction writer turned Scientology 
 founder.\n\nRather than straightforward profiles, Baldwin mashes up their 
 histories with archival footage drawn from his vast collection of 
 educational and governmental films, subverting their original narratives 
 (and intent) to his own purposes. His live-action scenes and audio montages 
 blend with these “seized histories,” creating a bizarre form of cinema, 
 a collage narrative where the documentary images of yesteryear lend not 
 truth but poetry, paranoia and fantasy. Arising with demonic force from the 
 20th century’s accumulated detritus, the film surveys “the repurposing 
 of the popular imagination in postwar California,” according to Baldwin, 
 tracing the “simultaneous rise and convergence of New Age religious 
 cults, the military/aerospace industrial complex and modern-day myths from 
 Disney to certain sci-fi overlords.” \n\n\n
